Quickstart

Prerequisites

• Active Azure cloud account
• Local development environment setup for Azure functions using Python

Steps

1. Clone the repo,

git clone https://github.com/vizeit/GraphQLServer-Ariadne-AzureFunc.git

2. Install ariadne

pip install ariadne

3. Go to __init__.py

4. Import GraphQL class from either WSGI or ASGI module of Ariadne

from ariadne.wsgi import GraphQL

or

from ariadne.asgi import GraphQL

5. Import WsgiMiddleware or AsgiMiddleware class from azure.functions module

from azure.functions import WsgiMiddleware

or

from azure.functions import AsgiMiddleware

6. Return WsgiMiddleware or AsgiMiddleware object from the main function w.r.t. your import in 3 and 4 above

return WsgiMiddleware(app).handle(req, context)

or

return AsgiMiddleware(app).handle(req, context)

7. Define GraphQL schema under Schemas folder

8. Write GraphQL resolvers for the schema in resolvers.py

9. Add the unit tests under tests folder. Run the unit tests after any changes,

python -m unittest -v tests/*.py
